I feel I've failed when I need to explain a joke but I will. In the piece about Frank Ferrante in Laughter on the 23rd Floor, I said that the character of Max Prince "is basically Sid Caesar rolled into one." I now have a half-dozen e-mails from folks who think I left some names out of that sentence.
I didn't. What I was trying to say is that the character was like Sid Caesar if you'd mixed him with Sid Caesar and then thrown in a few touches of Sid Caesar, Sid Caesar and maybe — just for a different approach — a bit of Sid Caesar. In other words, Sid Caesar rolled into one. Sorry for the confusion.
